I just ordered some fertile eggs and I am planning on having my broody silkies hatch them out for me! I am wondering if the baby chicks will just eat what their mom does once they hatch or if I will need to separate them and feed them their own grain? I figure that they will just do as mom does...
I am looking for just 6 fertile mille fleur cochin bantam eggs to hatch out. I am wondering if anybody has some available now? I see the posts on this site are all old and closed. I do not have a incubator but i do have 3 VERY broody silkie hens who would gladly sit. Let me know please. I also...
I live in Sharon, VT and I feel like it is impossible to find anyone who sells cochin/bantams
I love the calico/mille fleur look and I want a pullet or 2 if anyone can lead me in the right direction! I would be soooo happy:) It is almost mothers day and I told my son and hubby that if I could...
I have had my ducks for just over 1 year now and I have 4 rouen ducks (3 female & 1 male) and they have all been good together since day #1.
I had purchased 4 baby ducklings a few months later and 3 were call ducks and 1 was a welsh harlequin. They all grew up together in a pen of their own...

So, they are both white and they do have 5 toes each and they do have blue earlobes and black skin! however, they have long, not feathered legs and they have no puffy heads at all. They told me that they had purchased them from tractor supply. I imagine that means they are mixed breed. I was...
I live in Sharon, VT and I am looking for 2 hens of the sebright bantams! I like the silver but, will go with gold as well. Does anyone in VT have sebright bantams for sale? I will pay a fare price!
So, I have recently talked about my ducks and I have posted pictures too! I have 2 small flocks that are neighbors but not able to be with each other due to size and breeds. one flock is 4 rouen ducks and the other flock is 2 calls and a welsh harlequin that have all been raised together so the...
So, I got these 2 ducklings on this past Saturday from a local breeder...and when I made the phone call to ask about her ducklings, I was told that she had Pekings and Call Ducklings for sale! I was really interested in seeing the call ducks! I went to her house and I saw all of her adult Calls...
We have been searching the web and classifieds looking for a couple of female appleyard ducks. We have had 0 luck:( We love the looks of the breed but, around here they are not easy to find. I really would appreciate if any of you could throw a suggestion my way! Most all of the hatcheries are...
So, We have been really enjoying our 4 Rouen Ducks and have been discussing the possibility of adding 1 or 2 more ducks to our flock! I guess we just want to be sure that everybody will get along. I realize that it depends on the ducks personalities...but, just thought that some of you may be...
So, my ducks are now 8 weeks. We feed blue seal and this past weekend I swapped them from the starter crumble over to the grow and show pellets! and I feel so bad because they are following me around screaming at me!!! like as to say WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO OUR FOOD??? I even was in contact...
So, I realize that ducklings lose the cute fuzzy look as they grow and I am just wondering how long it will take for them to look "Pretty" again? I think they look silly with bald spots and I laughed when I read that some people say they are going through their "godly stage"! so, how long til'...
So, my ducklings are just a little over 2 weeks now and they are growing fast! I obviously want to keep them as safe and happy as I can so the question is....I am wondering if it will be o.k. to put them in my shed with a heat lamp on them? I have a large house for them inside the shed and they...
